Used Ookla. Got 40 Mbit down off VPN, 2.25 on VPN. Will continue using this in future tests. I don’t watch Netflix on my phone. I usually am browsing Lemmy, YouTube, or listening to Apple Music. Fast.com has been my indicator of why my speed is so slow off of VPN when using these services on cellular. While it might not be an ideal speed test, its results track with my connections performance with these services. That is to say, at times I’ll find myself not on VPN, find that my videos are chugging, turn VPN on, and problem solved. I usually only turn it off if I’m on home WiFi.

    I'm a fan of testmy.net. Ookla never seemed to give me actual results while I was on spectrum. Several times I'd just get a printout of what my speeds were supposed to be, but then no download would come close, and 480p videos could barely buffer.
